If it really bothers you, I think you could set up authentik (or some other idp) and point all your login needs at it... Though, it's not going to make things easier for you, just the opposite. Probably a good learning experience though.
Investment... It's a bit too simple to just say money, but investment wraps it up better. Chips may not be open source, but they are physically there to be taken apart and reproduced. That's what a lot of those Chinese knockoff chips are (baring the ones where the designs are outright stolen). The only thing that stops you from doing the same thing as those bootleg fabs is being willing to soak time and resources into the project. It's just a big project. Like a Bloomfield i7 (which is old and fairly large) has 731 million transistors in it...
It is. Though they clearly had to set up the bomb to save the donkey. Which is good I suppose, but man I have a hard time following that thought process.
I'm with you! I did the same thing before a flight to Australia. Ate it before security thinking I'd get on the plane and fall asleep. Of course the flight was delayed and I was way higher than I meant to be so I sat in a chair staring at the gate for a couple hours so I didn't miss the plane. It's hard to get edibles right...
I actually went the other way and ended where you are now. Had an electric car and ended up letting it go when I actually did the math one $/trip. Between the payment, power and insurance, I was at looking at something like $50/trip.
It sounds like you have sensor issues. It's not reading the battery level correctly. You can either remember to start looking for the charger at 60% or look into calibrating the battery sensor or reconfigure your sensors in general. How to do #2 is going to depend on your distro.
Those events add up too. Even if you don't have a lot to say at the first one. You'll be able about jade carving at the park cleanup day or whatever is next. Also, outside events are extra good if you are the flavor of introvert who needs physical space..
